Good reasons for adding FAA-PPL on top of EASA-PPL?

Hello all,

Just a week left for me to start by practical lessons for the EASA-PPL in the US. Really excited about it, obviously...

The school offers to train for the FAA-PPL at the same time for a slightly higher cost and time involvement.

From what I can tell, this used to be a sensible add-on, when the JAR-PPL still had a validity period of 5 years and needed to be renewed. Am I right to assume that now, with an EASA-PPL with a lifetime validity (just as the FAA-PPL?), there really is no practical reason apart from the nice card-fomat license to go for the extra effort?

Any thoughts on this?

Much appreciated! Thanks!
